Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Moth Treatment is Essential
While store-bought sprays might offer a temporary fix, tackling a moth infestation effectively requires professional expertise. Moths hide in cracks, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas, and their eggs and larvae are often invisible to the untrained eye. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are experts in identifying the specific species of moth, locating all harborage points, and applying targeted, professional-grade insecticides. Unlike DIY products, our solutions are potent enough to eradicate moths at all life stages, ensuring a complete clear-out. Trying to manage a significant infestation yourself often leads to prolonged problems and more damage to your belongings.

Signs You Might Have a Moth Infestation
Knowing what to look for can help you catch a moth problem early. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs:
- Damage to fabrics: Irregular holes in clothes, carpets, rugs, upholstery, or other natural fibres. This is often the work of clothes moth larvae.
- Adult moths: Small, flying insects, often seen fluttering around dark areas like wardrobes or pantries. Clothes moths are typically small and buff-coloured, while pantry moths (like Indian meal moths) might be slightly larger with distinct wing patterns.
- Larvae: Tiny, cream-coloured caterpillars, sometimes with a dark head. These are the culprits doing the damage.
- Webbing: Silken tubes or cocoons, particularly in corners of wardrobes, drawers, or food containers.
- Frass: Tiny, pepper-like droppings, often found near damaged items.
If you spot any of these signs in your Colyton home, it's time to call in the experts.
